Oh, hey, I won. I suppose I should write something about it.

This totally came out of nowhere. I went in expecting to be mediocre (and knowing that there was nothing wrong with mediocrity in a field this ridiculously dense with talented players).

Congrats! You never know what's going to happen at the end of a tourney... winning out on the final day can sometimes be enough!

I want to hear about the shouting match that Kate mentioned.

I thought all of our games were competitive and fun. In the last one, you definitely got me on the ropes with your blitzkrieg. I haven't looked over it yet, but I had a blank and close to bingo racks right near the start and got myself in time pressure looking.

I think I had the right idea, but I should have played ORIGAN in the same spot. It could have made a big difference playing off that extra vowel. I thought of IGNARO, but in my haste to make a play didn't manage to think of the anagram I needed in time.
